Resolutions

This year I decided to go for something simple and general, but applicable to many spheres of my life. Here is my first page of my 2008 journal:

As you can see, my huge art journal is impossible to fit into my scanner so I had to take a photo of it.

My resolutions for 2008 are:
1. breath
2. one thing at a time
3. be brave
4. act at once
5. stop
6. enjoy

You can read about them in details on the page. Although it would be easier to have a proper to-achieve list, this time I wanted to have some universal ideas that I can interpret in different ways. Flexibility is good! ^^

I also want to pay more attention to my new art journal, work more with textures, colours and patterns, practice "my style", experiment, be more disciplined with working on prompts to train my hand and my imagination.

Good luck with your new year's resolutions! *^v^*

    what a beautiful journal! I really admire your ongoing efforts to face your fears and try new things. I also admire your bravery to post and share pictures of your art and journals. It's been a pleasure to see your work these past few months. Keep up the good work! I hope the new year brings even more good things your way!

    Beautiful way to start your art journal. I'm starting one this year for the first time. I may have to try to do my first page about the new year. Thanks for the inspiration.
